Roshel had some beads at first. She gave 110 of her beads to her sister and 14 of her beads to her neighbour. After that, her mother gave her another 5 beads. She had 96 beads in the end. How many beads did Roshel have at first?
Fraction of beads left after giving to her sister and her neighbour
= 1 -
110 -
14 = 1 -
220 -
520 = 1 -
720 =
1320 Number of beads left after giving to her sister and her neighbour = 13 u
Number of beads left after her mother gave her another 5 beads = 13 u + 5
13 u + 5 = 96
13 u = 96 - 5
13 u = 91
1 u = 91 ÷ 13 = 7
Number of beads that Roshel had at first
= 20 u
= 20 x 7
= 140
Answer(s): 140
